Looking for an instructor who possesses knowledge, patience, approachability, and brings positivity to the table? With almost four decades of experience under my belt, I pride myself on working with clients from diverse backgrounds and equipping them with the skills to play any genre of music they desire. With special focus on the physiology of playing musical instruments, my deep understanding of drumming (which can be applied to other instruments) enhances both improvisation skills and daily practice. Rest assured, practicing music will leave you excited for the next day's session. It goes without saying that playing drums has been my lifelong passion since the age of 12, and I have taught professionally for over 30 years with equal passion. Seeing my students progress and discover their love for the instrument is more than just a job - it's a fulfilling experience.

I highly recommend Michael Leffler for drum teaching. My son eagerly awaits his weekly lessons and is motivated to practice. Michael has significantly boosted my son's self-assurance in drumming, despite the brief time they've been working together.

Michael's teaching skills are truly impressive. He not only excels at elucidating various drumming techniques, but also emphasizes on the physical aspect of drumming, which served as a significant aid to me. In a few classes, I learned how to read music and play real songs. Besides, his patience and flexibility are highly appreciated as he always helps me overcome difficulties by turning them into practice routines. To sum it up, I have had an amazing experience learning drums with Michael!

Mike is a caring and observant teacher who guides you in your quest to improve your drumming skills. He carefully listens, observes, and evaluates your needs to offer personalized instruction and exercises that can promote your growth. Mike doesn't merely provide superficial advice; his knowledge of drums runs deep, making him an expert in his field. By sharing the insights he's gained over the years, he can teach you how to connect with the different elements of percussion, which in turn can help you unlock your full potential as a drummer.
